Information
Istanbul is truly a world city, a city which everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. It is an glomorous blend of Eastern and Western culture, a vibrant, modern city, with a unique identity. Although no longer the capital of Turkey, Istanbul still remains the country’s cultural and business centre.
Istanbul has a foot in each, celebrating the best of both heritages. As Byzantium, Constantinople and finally, Istanbul, it has been the capital of three Empires, each leaving their mark in the form of stunning palaces, castles, mosques, churches and monuments. The legacy of its chequered past can be seen on every turn of the modern city.
